Title : The Air Campaign vs. Ballistic Missiles: Seeking the Strategic Win in the 21st Century

Descriptive Note : Technical Report

Corporate Author : School of Advanced Air And Space Studies Maxwell Air Force Base United States

Abstract : Most literature concerning the use of surface-to-surface missiles (SSMs) is focused on counter-proliferation. The authors are concerned with the emerging missile capabilities of rogue state missile arsenals. They fear that increasing ranges and accuracy will eventually threaten the US homeland. This concern is certainly warranted, but largely misses another potential consequence of enlarging SSM arsenals around the world: the threat of derailing 21st century strategic air campaigns.
